HiddenEmerald's 40 Favorite Video Game Themes (10-1)

THIS IS THE FINALE. AND AS SUCH YOU MUST PRETEND TO LOVE EVERY ONE OF THESE SONGS. Sharks and Prinnies everywhere agree, these are my favorite themes from video games!Also, if you listen to just ONE of the themes in my whole list, please make it my number 1!

I'm just sitting here listening to the song. Don't mind me! Not like I have anything to say. Other than this theme is amazing. And lovable. And cuddly. And shark-worthy. And better than Emile. And...

9. Fear Not This Night - Guild Wars 2

Sorry, forgot we had 9 more songs to go... I haven't yet heard this song in the game, and the first time I listened to it I wasn't that impressed. A few hundred repeats later and I'm a changed man! This song is epic. It just makes me want to get out there and save the fucking world!

K now THIS screams "Pokemon Master" and makes me smile so damn much. Seriously, try keeping those corners down. I'll go ahead and let these two themes be a tie and represent all my love for Pokemon music. Almost all of it.

7. Lucky Channel - Pokemon Gold

"I'll listen to this song til the battery goes out, its been in red for awhile!" 6 hour car ride later, and I'm still listening to this tune. And you know what? I kissed my Game Boy Advance and hung the batteries in my room. I'm glad I'm writing these in advance, cause I'm going to have to take a break and listen to this for awhile.

6. The Story Ends and the Journey Begins - Tales of Vesperia

So I already loved the opening to this game. Then they took it, slowed it down, and took away the lyrics. I can't wait to beat Vesperia and hear this song with my brother and cousins. Pretty sure we are all going to cry together.

5. Don't Speak Her Name! - Fire Emblem Awakening

This song just isn't fair. So-and-so just died (I try not to spoil things ) and the enemy commander decided to just be awesome. Then this song starts playing. I fucking lost it in the middle of class (during a break) when I heard this music. I just broke down crying and had to race outside before I started making noises. I didn't go back to class. AND IT'S ONLY NUMBER 5.

4. Twinkle * Star - Disgaea 2

You didn't SERIOUSLY think I was done with Disgaea did you?? No sir, I saved the best. I don't know what the HELL is being said, but every time this song comes on I shed a tear. It's beautiful.

3. Opening - Tales of Symphonia

If the Pokemon Gym Reorchistrated makes me grin like a madman, then this theme makes me hop up and down with joy and kiss everyone. Tales of Symphonia means a lot to my brother, cousin and I, and every time I hear this song I just want to tell them how much they mean to me. Them being Lloyd, Genis, Presea, Collete, Kratos, Zelos, Raine, Regal, and Sheena. Thank you so much for the memories!

2. Staff Credits - Legend of Zelda Wind Waker

Listening to the Staff Credits of my favorite game ever is like seeing my life passing before my eyes, but just the part where I was playing Wind Waker. I don't always cry when I hear this song, but when I do, I do it right. I can't just not let the song bounce me. This comes on, and it's time to dance! Don't ask me how I do that with my life flashing before my teary eyes.

--------------------------

Well, this has been an incredible trip down memory lane. I revisited my nightmares with Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. I Sailed on the Wind. I traveled once more across one of my favorite game worlds with Dalentarth. I got to be a pirate. I recruited allies and sat at title screens. I sat in a gym and flew on a Wolfen. I gambled my Porygon away, and I sent appreciation to my favorite cast of characters. And, of course, I watched the names of the men and women who gave me my dream rise up across the screen.

But I have not yet shown you my favorite song. I won't explain to you why it is my favorite. No, I'll just leave you to listen. And remember: you have to pretend you love it. Though I like to think you won't have to pretend!
